Too maple syrup...

I love it but it always makes me think of Jemima Puddleduck. I'ts really nice though.

I love it, particularly with the nn Mimi

I love Jemima.

I really love it.

I think it's sweet and strong and very, very classy. So cool.

However (and oh, you know it has to be brought up every time the name is mentioned!), if you're in the US, there's the syrup connection. Actually, it's not so much the syrup connection that's troublesome, but rather the racist implications that the name brings forth because of Aunt Jemima. But, and this might just be the eternal optimist in me, maybe the time is coming for when we can move beyond that? Maybe? *hopeful*

Of course, if you're not in the States, then none of this matters, and I've just wasted your time. :P Regardless, it's a lovely name that deserves to be appreciated no matter what. Heck, even if you are in the US, it probably doesn't matter much if you're not considering, you know, using it for a child any time soon. Perhaps. I don't know, I think there are many arguments for and against that line of thinking.

This name has been on my mind a lot lately. I really like it. If you're in the US, you'll get a lot of "like the syrup?" comments, but I've managed to disassociate the two. It's very pretty.

I like it..

Its a great name that fits in with the rest of my style. But unfortunately I ALWAYS think of play school and the doll Jemima when I hear it.
